Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering

Why Test Coverage Alone Fails Your QA Strategy


Listen Later

Lucas and Luna dive into the hidden failure of test coverage metrics. They unpack why hitting 90% line coverage can still let critical bugs slip into production, using a real example from a mid-size fintech company that shipped a payment-calculation error despite excellent coverage. The hosts explain the distinction between coverage as a vanity metric and coverage as a meaningful risk signal, discuss mutation testing as a diagnostic tool, and offer a practical framework for engineering teams to audit their own test suites. Along the way, they touch on the psychology of how developers game coverage targets and why low-coverage code paths sometimes matter more. A focused, actionable episode for QA engineers, engineering managers, and anyone who has ever wondered why their green test suite turned red in production.
